Before I saw this, I thought it impossible for Guillermo del Toro to be involved with a weak film
Looks like the Godzilla franchise is alive and well. Oops. Well, one out of two ain't bad.
Requires two pilots to operate the "Yeagars"??? -- that they snuck this factoid into the opening voice-over/backstory should have been warning enough, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. Gives new meaning to the phrase "flimsy premise"
"Yeagar" is a really cool name for a weapon. This is also the sole and only clever idea in the movie.
Before I saw this, I thought it impossible for Guillermo del Toro to be involved with a weak film. But I repeat myself.
Want to see this done right? Watch Independence Day.
A lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Before I saw this, I thought it impossible for Guillermo del Toro to be involved with a weak film. I think I am still in denial on this point.
Watch the actors try to compensate for the weak script, and only dig themselves in deeper. Lots of scenery chewing and glaring, pregnant pauses...
The comic scenes might have worked if there was actual drama to contrast them to?
Before I saw this, I thought it impossible for Guillermo del Toro to be involved with a weak film. I am starting my 12 step program next week...
